Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-3721:
-----------------------------------
(I should also note that, even with this patch, a 2.0 client can still talk to
a trunk cluster, since the server now properly handles variable-length headers)
> hsync support broke wire compatibility

> HDFS-744 added support for hsync to the data transfer wire protocol. However,
> it actually broke wire compatibility: if the client has hsync support but the
> server does not, the client cannot read or write data on the old cluster.
